Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**The Motor Runs Too Much**
This can occur if the outside temperature is too high, the door is opened frequently, the temperature control is not set correctly, the door is not fully closed, or if the condenser coils are dirty
-
**Temperature is Too Warm**
Possible causes include frequent door openings, the control setting being incorrect for the surrounding conditions, or the base grille being blocked
-
**Interior Moisture Buildup**
This issue can happen if the door is opened often, when the environment is humid, or if the wine cellar control is not set correctly for the conditions
-
**Lights Do Not Work**
The light might not work if the power supply cord is unplugged. The wine cellar is equipped with LED lighting, which does not require replacement but should work when the door is opened
-

This might be due to a dirty or sticky gasket, racks being out of position, or improper door installation

Energy Efficiency Tips
Clean the condenser coils regularly to improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Dirty coils force the motor to work harder.
Keep the cooler door closed as much as possible. Frequent openings cause the motor to run longer and consume more energy.
Ensure the door gasket is clean and free from damage to maintain a proper seal, preventing energy loss.
Use the Eco Mode setting if available, which reduces energy usage by turning off the interior light when the door is closed.
Install the wine cooler in a location that is free from direct sunlight and away from heat sources like ovens, which can increase energy demands.
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove the ground prong, use an adapter, or an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the wine cellar. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Use two or more people to move and install the wine cellar to prevent back injury or other harm.
Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Remove doors from your old wine cellar to prevent child entrapment, which can result in death or brain damage.
